@StevenSeagal Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros, and Mario 3D World were technically unannounced, as we knew nothing about them. I was hoping for some mention of Metroid and/or Star Fox. There's always next year.
If Chrom "enters the brawl" (for lack of a better term), I hope he doesn't replace Ike or Marth. Sure, he could have the Down+B Counter move, it's a staple for Fire Emblem characters. But since Chrom can use both swords and lances, he should have the ability to switch between both. And his Final Smash could involve the other characters from Awakening.
@WesGrogan Damn straight!
But you forgot the colored Game Boys (Pocket) that were released as a joke while everyone was waiting for the Game Boy Color. The Game Boy Pockets sold like hot cakes because Nintendo introduced "personality" to consoles, a first for the industry.
And the Game Boy Color? 4 games sum up how awesome it was/is.
●Super Mario Bros. Deluxe
●Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
●Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
●Pokemon Crystal Version
Thanks. Why the hell would Ash give up the ONLY Squirtle that wore Boss Shades?! (And before anyone says "Well, there were 4 other Squirtles...) WRONG! They all evolved into Wartortles and did not wear shades.
How can people even underestimate Nintendo in the first place? Microsoft and Sony are ELECTRONICS companies; Nintendo is an actual VIDEO GAME company. They've been in this buisness for over 30 years, they have the best first-party support, bar none. And all their games are hardcore, insane-difficulty games hidden behind a kid-friendly image. Nowadays, Mario is more recognizable that Mickey Mouse (ironic this article is about Warren Spector).
Namco: "Namco will be developing Super Smash Bros 4 for the Wii U."
Homer: "That's good!"
Namco: "But we'll also bring Barbie Life."
Homer: "That's bad..."
Namco: "And we also got Young Justice Legacy."
Homer: "That's good!"
Namco: "As well as Monster High."
Homer: "That's bad..."
"Star Fox? Star Fox, are you there?! Microsoft has declared war! And has unleashed its dreaded Xbox One system! Our first-party games alone can't do the job...HURRY STAR FOX!"
I'm just throwing this out there: Donkey Kong 64 remake for Wii U (or 3DS). Remade without any of the "copyrighted Rare material" so Micro$oft can't wave their little Rare ownership license at Nintendo.
No one who is stupid enough not to know how to use the Morph Ball can actually make it to Mother Brain in (just shy of) 8 hours. This guy's trying to troll people.
@LuigiMan200 The only game worth playing with him in it is Marvel vs. Capcom 3. I think he was in Ultimate Alliance, but I don't remember him saying anything funny.
Nintendo gives New Super Luigi U DLC for free, they give us 50% off SMB2 if we bought SMW, they gave refunds for people who bought Super Metroid and let them keep the game! Suddenly when they feel they deserve something for content they own "Ooooh! They're so evil!"
Nintendo has the right idea for they're first-party DLC. Fire Emblem Awakening is the perfect example of paid DLC: sidequests not crucial to the main experience of the game, but worth the money. Pokemon X/Y would be a great place to have paid DLC sidequests, extra cities to get better items. Maybe even some side stories involving Team Rocket?
Why wasn't there Wii U DLC in the first place? There shouldn't be any reason why they would skip the Wii U. I own both the Wii U version and the Xbox version of Injustice, and I plan on getting the DLC for both.
@HeatBombastic Then again, these are just "studies" done by people who always assume the near future is as predictable as the end of a movie. In those 4 years, who knows? Nintendo could come out with a game so amazing that it puts smartgames to shame.
@Harrison_Peter They said they were going to present the concrete details about Super Smash Bros 4. I'm praying they'll show SOMETHING on E3's TV broadcast.
iPhone will never have such great games as Fire Emblem, Pokemon, DK Country, Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, and etc. Ipso facto, smartphones can compete with the 3DS in the same way a go-kart can compete with a sportcar.
I know for a fact that people are confused about the Wii U. They still think that the gamepad is the entire system itself, and others think it just plays Wii games with a touch screen option.
@dragon_rider Mostly I'm referring to Donkey Kong 64 and Banjo-Kazooie. To my knowledge, the DKC games that were on the VC were removed due to some kind of claim from Microsoft. I could be wrong and am open for correction.
I still can't believe DK Country was removed from the Virtual Console. Microsoft needs to negotiate a deal to sell the rights to all Rare games made for Nintendo consoles back to Nintendo. This is just ridiculous.
